Silent Surrender

A hunger to deep
A thirst so raw
My lips so parched
My soul so empty
Not a thing, not a person
Not a place, not a being
What is it that I seek
To sate this yearning
I rise up the crests
I plunge in the troughs
Then come back to land
Emptier than before

They say its so close
Just look in your heart
It shimmers they say
In your silent surrender

I am yet to know
What this silence is
I am yet to learn
To surrender this being
But one thing I know
The old shore is lost
The only way now
Is to swim to thy feet
I only just hope
One day you will accept
All that I have
In a silent surrender
